anyone juicing?



Recommended Posts

I've recently become interested in juicing. I know we don't get the Fiber when we juice, but I feel like I need the nutrients from real food, not just Vitamins. Thoughts anyone?

Eat the fruit. Then you get both. I eat far more fruit then I used to. mayo clinic says we need 8-10 serving of fruits and veggies per day. My daughter lives on fruits and Proteins primarily and is slim slim slim. I think there is something to it.

I can eat so little, I'm getting very few nutrients. I would primarily juice veggies. Cant eat a lot of those, either. There are great recipes out there that include superfoods like kale, beet, carrot,and Tomato. I guess I'll call my nut.

I juiced early in recovery--it was wonderful. 2carrots, 2 celery, apple, kale, strawberries.

Because I couldn't even stomach the Vitamins my doc suggested Ensure Clear. They have a blueberry pomegranate that I've been able to choke down half a 10oz bottle a day. Tons of Proteins and vitamins. It made me feel so much better.

You can always use a blender instead of a juicer. Then the fiber will still be there.

Hi there.

Checking in from the Netherlands. Had my GBP a week ago and am working my way up to halfliquid and then on to 'regular' food.

I make smoothies like: banana with spinach (one of those frozen), sesame seeds and some skim yoghurt. Or mixed unsweetened frozen fruit with or without the spinach, yoghurt and some muesli. All of this in the blender and tadaaaa.

Be careful not to use too much ingredients, or share a healthy snack with family members. Throwing away is such a waste.

Last night I made a mix of potatoes and carrots and mashed it to a smoooooth bite. About 2 tablespoons full. It went down really well.

Well, so far my first contribution here. Hope to be back often and to hear from people here.

On my way to a healthier, lighter life. ;-)

Toodels,

Milu

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
